Introduction
Greetings Champions!
With spooky season behind us at last we're gathering our winter warmers and getting ready for 1.2 ( and Winterfest 2025)!
1.2 is chock full of highly requested features and changes, from Arcshot Gateways ( our fancy new official name for the previously showcased Teleporters) to communication changes, UI overhauls to map adjustments, and more!
New Hero: Yin - The Jade Serpent
Claim the storms and surge into action, with Yin, Predecessor's newest whip-cracking wind-running Hero!
Yin is a powerful yet agile Jungler/ADC hybrid, able to manipulate intense gusts of wind with a crack of her whip, turning her opponents own attacks against them.

Each stack grants 3/4/5/6% Bonus Attack Speed, for a maximum of 24/32/40/48% attack speed. Damage an Enemy Unit with Lash Kick grants 3 stacks of Rising Storm.

New Store Section - Extras
Some of you may know that for a while we’ve spoken about a new section of the store, specifically for smaller cosmetics and a place where you can use Amber or Platinum to pick up the little things you might be missing from your collection.
V1.2 will see this new section of the store, the new Extras tab, finally become reality - becoming the #1 destination for standalone effects, emotes and menu cosmetics.
Communication Improvements
Overhead Emotes
One such cosmetic available in the new Extras tab are a new type of emote, Overhead Emotes.
Overhead Emotes are small icons that you can display over your Hero’s head for a short time to communicate with others. Flash a wave at the enemy, wow at your teammates, or perhaps even taunt your enemies with something completely irrelevant and distracting - the choice is up to you!
Emote Wheel
With so many ways to express yourself, we've also taken the opportunity to add another highly requested feature - a brand-new, fully-customizable Emote Wheel!
The Emote Wheel is an in game quick-menu that lets you quickly select from a range of pre-selected sprays and other emotes. Not only does this mean you can now go into battle with more sprays than ever before, giving you versatility to pick different ones for different moments, but we've also upped the limit you can deploy before they vanish, meaning you can now place up to 4 sprays on the map at once.
Ranked Mode Improvements
Following your feedback, we’ve made a number of improvements to Ranked Mode.
- We’ve removed inter-division promotional games. Players with over 100 VP will now be automatically promoted from Division III to Division II, and from Division II to Division I.
- Adjusted VP updates for Platinum and Diamond Ranks so that players can move through these ranks quicker if they are not yet at their correct rank.
- Adjusted VP updates in Paragon rank so winning and losing grants the same VP for all Paragon-ranked players.
Gameplay Changes
Basic Attack Projectile Speed Increases
Basic Attack projectile speed for all Ranged Heroes has been nearly tripled, creating a smoother and more responsive combat experience.
Enhanced Recall
Mini-Orb and Orb Prime Buffs now grant their owners an Enhanced Recall effect, reducing the time it takes to Recall to Base from 8s to 4s for the duration of their corresponding Buffs.
Enhanced River Bugs
Rivers Bugs are fighting back, now growing in size and becoming stronger at the 21 minute mark. After they grow, they have increased durability and damage, but provide increased rewards and Buff effects when killed.
Other Improvements
Additional Hero Voice Lines
The Heroes are updated with a range of new voice lines, which each trigger in reaction to various new in-game events and situations. This should give each Hero more personality while making them feel more alive and more firmly anchored into the heat of battle.
New Menu Improvements
We’ve heard your feedback and have been quietly tinkering away on an all-new main menu UI. The new menu pays homage to Predecessor's original look while feeling more polished, immersive and fluid than ever before!
Whew, that’s a lot, isn’t it? We hope that you enjoy playing with Yin again and that you’ll find these changes and improvements are impacting your experience for the better.
